1988 Raleigh Mirage

[al]

I've been attacking this bike restoration game wrongly all these years.
This time I'm going to start with a mint bike and make it even minterer.

I need info on which tyres would have been specced on this bike, if anyone could help?

Nice. I forgot about these, forgot I used to have one early 90's.

Nice! Had one of these from new. IIRC it came with Chen Shin centre ridge skin walls.

Nostastic!

Misread that initially.

I think the tyres may have been the humble central ridge Cheng Shin Amber wall in 1.95 width. Which would look terrible!

There’s these on eBay (not mine) that would clean up well and be appropriate in that they are Cheng Shin of similar vintage.

In the Lightweight catalogue the Avanti of ‘89 looks like it has Panaracer of some sort.

Pipped to the post by John! So there is some sense in my post!

Centre Ridged is my modus operandi
